Host a Backyard Movie Night 3 of 8

I can't think of many things more fun than a backyard movie night! You can rent a projector from a local library and string up a sheet between trees to act as a screen. From there all you need is a stack of blankets for lounging and popcorn!Photo by Brandon Kidd. See more at The Sweetest Occasion.

Hit Up the Farmer’s Market 4 of 8

If your town has a farmer's market and you haven't been yet, you're missing out! Wandering around and checking out fresh local produce to inspire weekend meals is one of my favorite things to do!Photo by decor8.

Get Your Spring Cleaning On 5 of 8

While cleaning may not seem like fun, it always feels good to have a sparkly clean house! Check out Martha's spring cleaning checklist to get started. Not feeling that motivated? Tackle a closet instead and make piles of clothes to keep, store or donate.

It's a little early to plant veggies in many parts of the country still, but you can definitely get your herbs going inside to move out later. I love these little terra cotta pots labeled simply with black marker.Photo from Martha Stewart Living.
